Your a Child but I am Grown


You are a child but I am Grown

You were crying for your mother's 

breast but I am looking for ways

to stay out of debt

You looked for friends to play

but I look for money day by day

You went to schoool to learn

But I go to school even when I 

am burned

You cried because they bullied you

for being fat 

But I laugh with my body of 

 that I have respected 

You got the razor and put it near your skin

But I cleansed my wounds from sins 

You thought you could end it all

But I thank you for standing tall

You searched for acceptance but got

rejected all the way

But I stopped and learned that it is only me

that can learned from all your wrongs
